this episode was one of the most tidy at referring back to previous jokes i have ever seen in QI. eberyone did such a great job- their chemistry as fellow comedians really gelled quite nicely

My wife had knee issues and was seeing a specialist for them. One day, she had excruciating pain in her left knee and went to see him. He took x-rays and showed her that there was nothing extra wrong with her knee. She got a second opinion by another doctor who was sent that x-ray and he showed her her fractured femur just above her knee, that the first doctor missed by focusing on her knee.

Joe is such a troll, I love him.

QI is a great show but the comment section provides so much more information and often clarification. People are awesome!

Then who invented the airplane? The Wright Brothers built the first one that successfully flew, but they used lots of ideas first put forward by others. Being the first to make something that works is generally what gets inventor's credit. I think Marconi relied more on the work of Lodge and Hertz than anyone else. Lodge had demonstrated the generation and reception of radio waves, but Marconi's breakthrough was in seeing the potential of this phenomenon as a means of communication at a distance, something that hadn't been done before. Marconi said he didn't understand a lot of it, but he was being humble. He understood enough to transform a device that could only transmit a few meters into one that could transmit many miles. That made all the difference.

It's like they've got their own words for everything. :)

Humans have the same radiant heating & cooling as toucans because we're also tropical animals. Our extremities warm up (increased blood flow) to shed heat when we're warm, and they cool down (decreased blood flow) when we're cold in order to conserve our body heat. Temperate animals like squirrels and foxes do the opposite. They increase blood flow to their extremities to warm them up when they're cold. That's why they can stand on the snow barefoot all day. They generate their own heat internally by mechanisms we tropical animals don't have (uncoupling in brown adipose). They pay for that heat generation by having to eat a lot more food for their body weight than we tropical animals do.

As someone who studies historical fashion, the corset was actually okay for you, like bras they can help your chest but also a back. No one was dying from corsets, they were dying from other reasons. The woman who was x-rays was likely a poorer lady who from lack of proper nutrition was more likely to have her bones shifted from long tight lacing(which is bad!) Women wore them for hundreds of years, if it was killing them someone would come up with the bra faster not 5 different types of corsets. I wrote a 10 paper on this for college and plan to add to it so I would gladly go on but in short corsets were fine and if you just wear it properly without tight lacing you shouldn't have problems. If you do have problems, you likely have back or rib related problems and need a special corset made for your condition

I heard the reason Röntgen (better known as Conrad) took his wife to the laboratory that day was that he told his wife that he would probably be working in the laboratory late that night. She replied "For Gott's sake, Raddie! If you're having an affair, just tell me! Don't give me those lame excuses about working in the lab late again." Raddie (his wife's pet name for Conrad) figured after that outburst that it would be safer for him if he just took her to work with him that day. Of course, he really had planned to have another 'X-Ray party' with his beautiful assistant, Elsa, but discretion is the better part of valor. Sadly, Elsa died young due to radiation sickness. Of course, Elsa was the first person to be X-rayed.

"Thoron". Hold up, don't you mean thorium? Nope, learned something today, gaseous thorium decay product.

However, some female actors are still required to wear corsets, and still have organs displaced, as a result. It isn’t permanent, but I still think it’s disgraceful. It happened to Emma Stone in the Favourite. Do we really need so much period accuracy
